I suggest to reconsider this view.

Would we like to introduce additional case distinctions for the handling
of reassignments to local variables (as shown in Wen's test case)?

A corresponding resource release should probably be performed by
an other function then.

Data structure members can eventually belong also to a local variable.
Would they become relevant for further SmPL exclusion specifications?
